India: a place full of vibrant colours, intoxicating smells and tantalizing food. Whilst I was on this journey of a lifetime, I picked up some beauty treatments that have been used for thousands of years. These treatments are known as Ayurveda, the science of life. It emphasises preventative and healing therapies along with various methods of purification and rejuvenation. Below are two of the many treatments I have – please try and let me know what you think.

Mix all ingredients into a thick paste and massage over the body to exfoliate and balance the skin. Shower or rinse the mixture off. Dry well. You know that you have this one right when it smells like an Indian curry!

Ingredients for skin polisher

300 ml (5 fl oz) warmed natural honey

200 ml (3 1/2 fl oz) warmed full cream milk

3 cups grated cucumber

This is enough polisher for two people.

Apply warmed honey to the skin and massage into the body. Be careful to make sure that you don’t burn yourself by testing a small patch of skin first. Convert the sticky honey into a velvety texture by gradually adding 1 teaspoon warmed milk at a time. Massage into the body, then apply the cucumber. Coat both sides of the body and leave for 10 minutes. Rinse off and enjoy your naturally smooth skin.

This is a delicious recipe that I altered slightly from the one shown on the Dr Oz show (Tosca Reno presented this one). My friend Yana came around for lunch to enjoy this delicious meal, we were both impressed. So without further ado, here is one easy, delicious, gluten-free and paleo recipe that won’t break the budget. What more could you want?

1lb chicken tenders (cut into bite sized pieces)

5 egg whites

2 1/2 cups almond flour (you can also use ground almonds)

1 cup flaxseeds

3/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup poultry seasoning

Olive oil spray

For the dipping sauce:

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons dijon mustard

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place wax paper on a large flat oven tray and spray with olive oil.
